8. Reinsert the breech plug using the wrench.9. Inspect the chamber to be certain the bore is completely empty of powderand ball, and that no cap or priming compound remains on the nipple.10. Reinsert the bolt.11. Move the safety selector to the “Fire” position and with the rifle pointed in asafe direction, pull the trigger as you close the bolt and ease the bolt handledownward. This uncocks the striker. “Dry Firing” is not advisable in theRUGER ® 77/50 due to possible nipple damage. Never uncock the strikeronto a percussion cap! (See “Handling Warning”, p. 17).12. Once you know the rifle is completely unloaded and reassembled, run theramrod fully into the barrel and note how much of it protrudes from themuzzle. If any more of the ramrod ever protrudes from the muzzle at anytime you run the ramrod fully into the barrel, you must assume that the rifleis loaded -- be careful!BASIC DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLYThe user of a RUGER ® 77/50 should carefully read all disassembly directionsand study all the illustrations and the Parts List in this manual before attemptingto take the gun apart. Know the names and location of the parts before removingany of them. Although the rifle mechanism is composed of only a few parts, it isessential that the disassembly and reassembly operations be carried out withknowledge and care.Only a few tools are required: A screwdriver or two to remove the trigger guardscrews and to remove the barrel band screw, and the supplied breech plugwrench to unscrew the breech plug.The tip of the screwdriver blade should perfectly fit the screw slots. A tip toolarge will scrape away metal, while too small a tip will damage the screw slots.! WARNING –DISASSEMBLYLOADEDNever clean, lubricate, disassembleor work on a rifle while it is loadedor capped. Never install or removea capped nipple. A capped nipplecan discharge the rifle if struck.Always unload any firearm beforecleaning, lubrication, disassembly,or assembly. Read instructionsbefore disassembling gun.UNLOAD BEFORE CLEANINGOR DISASSEMBLING22
Before taking the gun apart, set up to do it properly. Cover the work surface witha soft cloth so that the gun finish (and sights) will not be damaged, and provide atray into which the parts can be put as they are removed from the gun.It is preferable to carry out these procedures on a workbench or table which hasa covered top. A piece of shallow nap rug or an old, coarse blanket is an idealcovering. Such a covering not only reduces the chances of the rifle slipping andbeing scratched, but it serves also to trap pins, plungers and springs that mayotherwise get lost. It is advisable to have a container – such as a shoebox – inwhich each part can be placed as it is removed from the gun.Before attempting to disassemble the rifle for the first time, study the partsdrawing and parts list so as to be familiar with the relative position, appearanceand name of each part. Carry out the disassembly slowly, and carefully note theposition of the part in the gun before starting to remove it. If a part is underspring tension (such as, the Safety Selector, Bolt Stop, Trigger) remove itcautiously and anticipate the direction the spring and plunger are most likely to“jump.”WARNING: If a spring or plunger become lost, do not use a substitute. Springs ofcorrect tension are vital to the safe and reliable performance of firearms. See“Ordering Parts”, p. 39. Before starting disassembly, remove the sling, scope andrings and place the rear sight blade in its down flat position.DISASSEMBLY(Rifle Must Be Unloaded Prior To Disassembly)1. Keep the rifle pointed in a safe direction! Put the safety in the “load-unload”position.2. OPEN THE BOLT AND CHECK TO BE CERTAIN THAT THE RIFLE ISUNCAPPED AND UNLOADED. Run the ramrod completely down the barrel tomake sure the rifle has no bullet or powder in the barrel.3. TO REMOVE BOLT: Lift the bolt handle up. Depress the bolt stop on the leftside of the receiver. Remove the bolt from the rifle. (Before starting boltdisassembly, study Figure 21).4. TO DISASSEMBLE THE BOLT:a. While holding the bolt, rotate the bolt sleeve clockwise (as viewed fromthe rear of the rifle) to position shown in Figure 18, p. 24. The bolt sleeveshould be in the same position it is in when taken out of the receiver, butthe bolt sleeve may need to be rotated clockwise until the disassembly holeis fully exposed.23
